Inhaled air enters the upper respiratory tract through the anterior nares, also known as the nostrils, which are the external openings of the nose. The air then travels through the nasal cavity before reaching the nasopharynx. The posterior nares, also called choanae, are openings at the back of the nasal cavity that connect it to the nasopharynx, allowing air to pass further into the respiratory system.
